VGChartz's Christian Evans: "Though yet again denied a genuine fight between the platform exclusive ‘big 3’ in the racing game genre, there was plenty of opportunity to get behind the virtual wheel in 2022. The release of Gran Turismo 7, while a Forza and Mario Kart are still in the developmental garage, of course made it heavy favourite, akin to driving for Red Bull in the last Formula 1 season.
The usual slew of realistic licensed driving simulation games such as WRC Generations, MotoGP 22, and F1 22 were once again in the chasing pack. They would be swiftly followed by the fun-focused arcade racing present in the likes of Need for Speed Unbound, and Apple Arcade timed-exclusive Horizon Chase 2, while anyone looking for that WipEout fix was likely satisfied with Redout 2, though in all honesty all the racers were hoping for mechanical failure from the front-runner to be in with a chance of the trophy."
